New Years Resolutions

Flint · 12-30-2008, 10:12 AM

Do you have any? What are they? How do they differ from the resolutions of previous years?

I "resolve" that I will continue to make realistic, incremental progress in any identified areas.
I might even go backwards somtimes, but I hope to come out ahead (in the right direction).

A revisit of my resolution of a few years ago:

Take time to recognize those who go above and beyond, whether it's an ultra friendly grocery employee, a fireman, a local newspaper writer who wrote a great article...etc.

I try to make it be more than just my profuse thanks; a note or word to their manager/supervisor can do wonders for a person's job and self-worth.

I try to live my life this way, but sometimes in the hustle and bustle and the egocentricism, I don't...so this is my running yearly reminder to remember how much that recognition can mean to the person in the trenches.

To take dance tapes to work for cardio work out.

It's not very grand I know.

Trilby · 12-30-2008, 11:58 AM

I'm doing a very unpopular thing for my resolution so I won't tell you what it is. I'll be the better for it, though. *evil grin*

Shawnee123 · 12-30-2008, 12:04 PM

Where do you work, sky?

C'mon Bri...spill it!

skysidhe · 12-30-2008, 12:20 PM

I like Bri's resolution better than mine already.

I work graveyard as dorm counselor and my coworker and I don't want to get fat (er). We laugh alot but that doesn't burn calories.

So where do you work Shawnie?

Shawnee123 · 12-30-2008, 12:26 PM

At a local college. I was just thinking I could do some cardio while I crunch numbers...these desk jobs will kill you!

skysidhe · 12-30-2008, 12:39 PM

ah office in a school. You can't get better than that.

But cardio? won't people be wondering why you are jumping around on your desk?:P

I make New Years "wishes" every year. I write down little wishes on rice paper and light them on fire outside. This way my little wish is dispersed out into the world. I'm cheesy. And a bit of a nutter.

fargon · 12-30-2008, 01:30 PM

I am actually going to start out 2009 as a non smoker, I quit last week and with the help of God I have not smoked since, and I did not turn into a$$hole boy.

skysidhe · 12-30-2008, 02:03 PM

No it's whimsical and sweet. It's only nutty if you chant, sweat and stamp your feet.

Tree Fae · 12-30-2008, 08:41 PM

May both you and Elspode have complete success in this venture.

For myself, my resolution is to finally file for divorce, get my budget under control..(work in progress), and to produce and sell more of my art which will help finance the first two items. And it will give me a great deal of pleasure and a measure of sanity.

morethanpretty · 12-30-2008, 09:43 PM

Pass my classes with nothing less than a "B"
Cook healthy and more often.
Be more active.

Yeah boring, but thats all I can think of.

1. Establish a reasonable workout schedule
2. Ween the boy and begin process for breast reduction
3. Get my Mom moved up here
4. Decide if we are going to move or not and make progress in that direction
5. Apply to go back to school
6. Potty train the girl once and for all
7. Revise budget... (probably multiple times) and pay bills off as much as possible.
